To Pass Or Run

One minute left on the clock Four points down, championship at stake Third down, five yards from the goal Hefty defensive linemen gritting teeth eager anxious Do you run the ball? or pass? Quarterback fakes a hand-off Linemen not fooled, scatter to block receivers Quarterback sneak wins the game! *For the "Pass" contest. Probably only football fans will get this one.

I don't know much about American Football, but this sounds like a touch down pass to win. Good luck in the contest Diane, and thank you for your always kind comments >> James :)

This reminds me of Bart Starr's sneak a way back when the Packer's beat the Colts. I like this poem mucho. Dave
